That's why I am introducing legislation to ban Wall Street from buying single family homes once and for all.
Support and work to pass legislation that prohibits large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House passed a revised housing bill on May 20, 2026, and the final House version kept restrictions on institutional investors buying single-family homes.
The Senate passed an 89-10 housing bill on March 12, 2026, including a ban on institutional investors with more than 350 properties from buying more single-family homes for long-term investment.
Assessments
The promised policy was materially advanced during Hawley’s current Senate term: the Senate passed a housing bill on March 12, 2026 that included a ban on large institutional investors buying additional single-family homes for long-term investment, and the House passed a revised version on May 20, 2026 retaining investor restrictions. But the measure was not yet final law as of June 14, 2026, so the promised outcome was not fully delivered. Given the substantial in-term legislative progress toward the exact policy, Hawley merits partial credit with an effort badge rather than full delivery.
